1t has been suggested in many quarters that
something should be done by the authorities to
lay the dust on the roadways through the White
House grounds and the camp. Last night visitors,
ladies especially, complained loudly Of it, and to.
day It was much worse. II the water carts were
run through the rOadways early in the evening
it would greatly add to the comfort Of all visitors
The Iowa Cadet Band furnished the music of
the day, and played spendidly. The little fellows
had plenty OF wind, and their music was OF the
to-day.
The weather to-day was perfect and the specta-
stand. The movements OF well-driled company
Is as pretty sight as one could wish to see and
the drill grounds should be we'll patrOnized during
the company contests.
Pictures OF "the President and bis wife" were
hawKed about among the crowd to-day, but they
were not in great demand. 'Ice cold lemonade
and peanuts had the preference.
There were no programs on the grounds to-day.
1t was said that the program man had been taken
SICK and had not completed his work. There was
considerable difficulty in keeping informed as to
who was drilling In consequence.
AS the hours passed the crowd gradually grew
larger, so that by O'Clock the attendance was
very respectable.
A photographers camera was located at the
southern part OF the drill ground, and each COM
pany was Photographed before returning to camp.
The cadet band from Milwaukee occasionally
varied the musical program with vocal accom-
panlment. Their young voices rang out clear and
strong on ''See Saw" and "Peek-a-bOo."
